After 6 years of dealing with a mystery illness I finally got a diagnosis of Lyme Disease. This is the beginning of my journey through it.
Chai-Coconut Ice Pops – Meh, Okay
(2 out of 3 stars) Fun recipe to make homemade popsicles. Wish it was sweeter and tasted more like dessert.
Puffed Quinoa Treats – Pretty Good
(2 out of 3 stars) Not bad! Mild flavor but great crispy texture.
Pecan-Buckwheat Porridge – Meh, Okay
(2 out of 3 stars) Doesn't quite hit the spot when it comes to oatmeal cravings, but it's still an okay dish for a hearty breakfast.
Poached Eggs w/ Quinoa & Spinach – Didn’t Like It
(1 out of 3 stars) This recipe sounds and looks beautiful, but the taste fell short. Bland and watery.
Zucchini-Herb Frittata – Meh, Okay
(2 out of 3 stars) Never cooked with zucchini or made a frittata before! This was bland, but would do it again.
